Jay Rosen (born May 5, 1956) is a liberal media critic, writer, and a professor of journalism at New York University.

Rosen has been on the journalism faculty at New York University since 1986; from 1999 to 2005 he served as chair of the Department.[1]

He has been one of the earliest advocates and supporters of citizen journalism, encouraging the press to take a more active interest in citizenship, improving public debate, and enhancing life. His book about the subject, What Are Journalists For? was published in 1999. Rosen is often described in the media as an intellectual leader of the movement of public journalism.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Rosen writes frequently about issues in journalism and developments in the media. Media criticism and other articles by Rosen have appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times,[9] Salon.com, Harper's Magazine, and The Nation. He is known for his use of terms such as "view from nowhere" to criticize ideas about journalistic objectivity.[10]

He authors the PressThink blog on "the fate of the press in a digital era and the challenges involved in rethinking what journalism is today".[11] and which won the Reporters Without Borders Freedom Blog award in 2005.[12] Rosen is also a semi-regular contributor to The Huffington Post.

In 1994, Rosen was named a fellow of the Shorenstein Center at Harvard University.[13]

In July 2006, he announced a project, NewAssignment.net, linking professional journalists and internet users. The project has received contributions of $10,000 by the Sunlight Foundation, $10,000 by Craig Newmark, $75,000 from Cambrian House and $100,000 by Reuters.[14]

Since 2009 Rosen has collaborated with technologist and writer Dave Winer on Rebooting the News, a weekly podcast on technology and innovation in journalism.

In 2013, Rosen announced he would be serving in an advisory capacity to Pierre Omidyar's new journalism venture First Look Media.[15]
